Hi folks - although I have been a regular reader of this forum during my recovery process, I have yet to post. I am a 43 y/old firefighter, (previously) very physically active and fit. I am ten weeks out from patella tendon repair of my left knee. Recovery has been unremarkable, but my mental game is starting to lag. I am at 125degrees ROM, and have just began light body weight exercises. I am wanting to do much more than i can - and am cautious about any re-rupture risk. I can sorta walk around, but with a terrible limp. Still in my brace at all times minus sleeping - brace opened to 40degrees. I am wondering if there is a 'breakthrough' wherein I will feel like myself (or some version) again. I am hoping to get back to my normal job as a firefighter at the 6 month mark... Any experiences or pep-talks appreciated. Thanks.
